"Meldenique! Something as worthless as you has no place in our family."

I agree.

Meldenik Vaveloa, the woman whom I possessed not long ago, has already gambled more than a billion bekrel with this hand.

(Note: bekrel is their currency)

Ten billion bekrel.

In this world, 30 million bekrel is the annual income of an average four-member household. Of course, it is understandable that the Duke is angry.

Meldenique had no talent for business at all.

Of course, her poor performance in business was due to her family's circumstances.

Madame Hildegardt, her stepmother, interferes with everything she does.

But the Duke of Vaveloa, the father of this body, will not take that fact into consideration.

'Because he hates me.'

I stared at the face of Duke Vaveloa who was sitting opposite to me. Sure enough, his face was redder than a ripe tomato.

I can tell very well what will come next from that venomous look in his eyes.

"Take this money and get the hell out of here. I don't want to see you again!"

He threw me a big pile of money.

Maybe he was trying to throw it in my face. But luckily, the reflexes of this body were quite good.

I smiled inside and snatched the bundle of money he threw at my face.

Nice catch!

"Yes. I hope I never see you again too."

As I said that, I carefully packed the thick bundle of money in my pre-prepared pocket.

'I knew you'd pay me and kick me out.'

I've been waiting for this day!

The Duke of Vaveloa, who had gazed at me for a minute as I quickly grabbed the pile of money and jammed it into my pocket, stammered and asked.

"You... what the hell is that pocket... no, you dare you challenge me?"

Was it because of anger? His green eyes shook relentlessly, and his blond hair, which there wasn't a lot of, trembled like petals in the wind.

"Are you?"

I shook my head and shrugged.

"No."

He must be thinking.

His daughter, who would usually turn the floor into a sea of tears, actually left him in such a cold way.

"I'm trying to do what you want me to do."

Meldenique would have been furious and would not have been kicked out of the family thanks to her crying performance.

But I've been eyeing a chance to be kicked out of this family.

I can feel the weight of the pile of money in my arms.

"I also feel extremely indebted for not leading the business properly..." 

In fact, there was no huge debt.

I think Mrs. Hildegardt is the one responsible for ruining my business.

"Well, you said get out of here, so I'm leaving!"
